If you want to decimate your enemies on the battlefield then Yasuke’s Legendary Weapons will surely fit your playstyle.

Yasuke has five different weapons in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Each of them has various tiers according to their stats and buffs. Among them, legendary is the highest tier. Yasuke’s legendary weapons will give you the needed edge on the battlefield and will surely turn the tide in your favor.
However, the developers scattered these high-valued weapons across the map, making them relatively hard to find. Some of them can be found in legendary chests in various castles and forts, while others are only available in the store or as a reward for completing certain objectives.
Additionally, to make it less complicated, we have made this list of all of Yasuke’s Legendary Weapons in Assassin’s Creed Shadows so you can easily find the weapons you want.
